    Stafford Gateway Masterplan.

    Certainly could go either way with the Gateway project but what I’m pretty sure of is that the next decade is going to be an industrial led recovery, not consumer. Lots of “what if” projects will be green lit with very little opposition. This recession, possible depression, will alter household...

    Parking in Stafford.

    Anyone else find the continuous closing and reopening of Doxey Long Stay nothing but completely farcical? All the commuters park up in the morning, then Stafford BC tweet out around 9:30am to remove your cars due to imminent flooding, but unfortunately due to being a LONG STAY car park, most...

    Stafford Gateway Masterplan.

    From the plans in the article, looks like everything is going except the 2 buildings housing Vets4Pets and Hollies Pupil Referral Unit.

    Let's build a hotel !

    Have stayed in a few Ibis Style hotels, they're essentially the premium Ibis brand with some really interesting and fun designs, although still competitively priced. If they get it right, could make the Swan owners nervous but i'm sure they'll continue to do well given location. The Liverpool...

    Let's build a hotel !

    Now now Tilly we can't be having an Ibis Budget in Stafford (then again it's not too late for them to change their mind!). Question is, what will the rooms be themed to?

    Let's build a hotel !

    Ibis Styles hotels usually have a nice little bar but too small to make an impact, will be a definite plus for Slater's especially during the quiet weekday evenings.

    Kingsmead Car Park - Aldi / B&M.

    Isn’t the section of car park closest to this site still underwater to some extent?

    Kingsmead Car Park - Aldi / B&M.

    Those plans are insane, just 9 spaces and 2 grill parking spaces! Weekends will be fun to say the least!

    Kingsmead Car Park - Aldi / B&M.

    Anyone else noticed that it seems the drive thru order lanes are at the Queensway junction end, with pretty much no room left if things back up by a couple cars? Doesn’t look right to me but probably need another close look.

    Stafford Western Access Route.

    Stating the obvious here, but looks like the West Way will become a secondary M6 diversion route, and a much busier route to J13 generally? If not officially then certainly via Google Maps at least, nightmare.

    Has Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) ever properly flooded?

    Great point, and since it’s somewhere we’ll likely be for many years it’s really important to consider things getting worse and not just look backwards. Have to admit that’s pretty darn close, especially for a house actually on Ampleforth Drive. The other side might be safer but then you’re...

    Has Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) ever properly flooded?

    Been narrowing down the area search for buying our first home, and Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) is a good contender. However, it's obviously very close to the River Penk, and the grassy area to the east always seems to have some flood water on it. Just checked the Environment Agency...
